Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The smallest diameter of wrapper that will fit the candy bar is 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest diameter of the wrapper will have to be the length of the line AC.

We can observe that there are two similar triangles present in the shape there.

We have triangle ADE and triangle DCF

They are similar because their left side, base length, and right angle are equal.

We are given the length of the side AD for triangle ADE.

From the rules of similar triangles, we have that side DC will also equal 3 cm. because the two triangles are similar.

Hence AC will be 3cm + 3cm = 6 cm

The smallest diameter of wrapper that will fit the candy bar is 6 cm

A bag contains 10 red marbles, 15 yellow marbles, 5 green marbles, and 20 blue marbles. Five marbles are drawn from the bag. wha
Charra [1.4K]
To determine the probability that exactly two of the five marbles are blue, we will use the rule of multiplication. 

Let event A = the event that the first marble drawn is blue; and let B = the event that the second marble drawn is blue. 
To start, it is given that there are 50 marbles, 20 of them are blue.  Therefore, P(A) = 20/50
After the first selection, there are 49 marbles left, 19 of them are blue. Therefore, P(A|B) = 19/49
Based on the rule of multiplication:P(A ∩ B) = P(A)*P(A|B)P(A ∩ B) =  (20/50) (19/49)P(A ∩ B) = 380/2450P(A ∩ B) = 38/245 or 15.51%

The probability that there will be two blue marbles among the five drawn marbles is 38/245 or 15.51%

We got the 15.51% by dividing 38 by 245. The quotient will be 0.1551. We then multiplied it by 100% resulting to 15.51%

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An event driven programs are process of programming by which an algorithm is written by programming on a UI element, placing an event listener such that it handled when triggered by calling a call-back function.

E.g is a click event on a button which is a UI element. An event listener example, mouse down can placed on it, and if a user mouse down on it, it is handled by calling a call-back function which might be to open a new page on website.
